Le Boreal, 8 Night Shores of the Adriatic ex Venice, Italy Return

PONANT unveils an idyllic 9-day itinerary in the heart of the Adriatic, along the Italian, Croatian and Slovenian coastlines, featuring age-old vestiges slumbering beneath a golden sun, bustling towns fixed on the crystal-clear horizon and preserved nature, the cradle of a delicious way of life.

Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, discover Urbino, birthplace of Raphael and a Renaissance pearl that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from Ancona ; admire Split, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Diocletian's Palace; or explore the island of Hvar in a Volkswagen Beetle. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments.

From Venice the Serenissima, you will sail along Italian shores to Ancona, a charming city acting as the gateway to the region of Le Marche, before reaching Apulia and the town of Vieste. Perched on its limestone outcrop, it sketches out a rich history with multiple influences, between its bright whitewashed houses.

You will sail towards the east, along the water. From the millennial cities of Dubrovnik and Split, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, to the idyllic island of Hvar and its sparkling coves, discover the indescribable gentle way of life of the Croatian coastlines. In the north, here is Rovinj. The discreet pearl of Istria reveals its bell tower standing above the turquoise waters of the Adriatic, sealing the eternal union between the sea and the old stones in this region.

Discover Piran, the last port of call on your journey, a flamboyant little Slovenian seaside resort that was under Venetian influence for more than five centuries, before you return to the City of the Doges.

Like her sisterships, Le Boréal embodies the subtle alliance between luxury, intimacy and wellbeing which is PONANT’s signature. The elegance of her exterior and interior lines and her intimate size (only 132 staterooms and suites) make this a rare and innovative yacht on the cruise market.

Interior Design:
Superior materials, discreet elegance and a tasteful décor reflect a nautical mood subtly revisited. Aboard, soothing neutral grey tones are enlivened by splashes of red, our signature theme linking tradition and innovation to create personal touches in the spirit of a “private yacht”.
